Can you post the contents of /etc/pam.d/su?

Comment 3 Tomas Mraz 2006-01-03 04:29:15 EST

I can reproduce the problem only when SELinux is set to Enforcing.

However I think that the latest SELinux policy packages should be OK. Please try
to upgrade to current rawhide and test if the problem is still there.

Comment 4 drago01 2006-01-05 05:33:00 EST

I installed rawhide today (2006-01-05) and have the same problem.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2006-01-05 09:43:09 EST

Try restorecon -R -v /root /home

FC5Test1 has a labeling problem on the /root and /home directories.

this did not solve the problem for me

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2006-01-06 08:37:15 EST

What policy are you running?  Do you see any avc message in your log file?
Does removing pam_selinux.so from /etc/pam.d/su fix the problem?

This is working fine for me :^(

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2006-01-27 01:03:35 EST

Fixed in rawhide.
